Services for Alumni & Community

We are pleased to welcome SU alumni and community members who wish to use the SU Libraries’ resources.

The Guerrieri Academic Commons, the Nabb Research Center, and the Curriculum Resource Center are free and open to the public during regular business hours. Please note that access to the 24-hour space in the Guerrieri Academic Commons is limited to SU-affiliated patrons only once the main building closes.

Services

Community users are welcome to use computers in the Guerrieri Academic Commons for research, within the guidelines of the Salisbury University Computer Use Policy. WiFi access is available for personal laptops. To use our computers or access the WiFi, bring a photo ID to the Library Service Desk and complete the necessary form.

Black and white prints cost 10¢ per page and must be directed to print to the Library Service Desk. Color prints are also available for 50¢ per page. Community patrons should select the following printers when sending print jobs:

Black and White: AC146-CIRCColor: AC146-HPCP522

We accept cash, check, VISA, and MasterCard ($5 minimum for credit card charges). Patrons are responsible for paying for all pages they send to the printer, so please use Print Preview to select the correct pages before printing.

Community members over the age of 18 and living in Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, or Dorchester counties and any SU alumni may register for a Special Borrowers Card at the Library Service Desk in the Guerrieri Academic Commons. The levels of Borrowers cards are:

Community Borrower: free, may have 3 SU circulating items checked out at any given time.

Community members must complete a registration form and present valid photo ID and proof of residence upon registration. There is a $25 replacement fee for all lost Special Borrower Cards. A new card will not be issued until any outstanding fines have been fully paid.

After registering, you must present your Special Borrower Card to check out materials. Within the SU Libraries collection, Special Borrowers may borrow books, general collection DVDs, and headphones. Other items are reserved only for SU Gull Card holders. You are responsible for all materials charged on your card and should be present whenever your card is used.

Most books are loaned for 28 days, and renewals may be granted, using the online ‘Library Accounts’ feature on the Libraries home page. Renewals also may be made by phone (410-543-6130) or in person at the Library Service Desk.

SU is both a Federal Depository Library—the only one on the Lower Eastern Shore—and a Maryland State Depository Library, providing free access to printed government documents to all citizens, residents, and visitors. For suggestions on accessing both print and electronic government documents, see:

If you are an alumnus/a of SU or a community member with significant materials relating to SU’s past—scrapbooks from your student days, a diary you kept while on campus, letters home, records of a student organization you were active in—and you would like to donate them to the University Archives, please contact Ian Post, the University Archivist, at impost@salisbury.edu. With the centennial of SU’s founding coming up in 2025, we are looking for records documenting student life. More information on the University Archives can be found at the Nabb Center website.

The Nabb Center houses outstanding collections on Delmarva’s history and genealogy as well as the University Archives and Special Collections. We welcome members of the community to do research, attend lectures, view exhibits, and volunteer. If you have family diaries and letters, organizational records, business ledgers, or similar materials, please consider donating them. For more information, see the Nabb Center website.
